Comment about the effect of Hurricane Gloria on Atlantic City. Usually nobody there looks at the beach - they are too busy gambling but the hurricane made people look at the ocean. The casinos were closed before the hurricane arrived. After it had passed they reopened. It was suggested by the mayor that people living in coastal areas move inland to avoid the storm but many did not because they weren't specifically told to.
